so i think they're my oil metering lines, near the primary injectors, well anyways they broke because they were so brittle from the heat... so i put a piece of rubber hose in place of the break, am i getting sufficient oil to the rotors??? are these lines i speak of even the oil metering lines???

 

Pics would help.

 

well its 3 in the morning and i dont have any

 

lol, you're in the same Cali as me...right? It should only be 2. If you take pics tomorrow that will really help. I think I know the area you are talking about, but I don't like giving out half-assed advice.

 

ok sorry, say i did replace the breaks in the lines with vacuum line hose, would they get enough oil???

they look like theyre a bitch to change

 

BTW, are we talking about an FC or FD. I'm assuming an FC by your pic. The FD is a little dif, which that is why I wanted pics to confirm. You might be able to get away with those hoses, but that's a huge risk. Why not go OEM? You could just start pre-mix, but that's a bitch...

 

ok im a newb, wtf is BTW, and OEM

Oh yeah, FC

 

by the way and original equipment manufacturer. im a newb for not looking at what section your post was in! OEM=stock fyi.

 

gotcha, thanks for that schooling, so i guess i gotta change em, im short on cash, but im not driving the car cause licence is suspended, where can i gettem at??? RB???

 

Mazdatrix should have them, RB might, RX7store might have some too. I would just look around in the For Sale/Classifieds. You usually find the best deal there.

 

cool thanx man, help is much obliged

 

No problem man, I'm sure there are some uber FC guys around here somewhere. I'm an FD dude, so that's usually what I stick to.

 

wow im a ******* tard, i just realized how i brokem... hahaha, i just tried to pull them off, instead of unbolting em... what an idiot!

 

dude, i have a full set i will sell you. ive got a post in the for sale section.
anyway, i dont think that the vaccum hose would do the trick. best bet is to replace the whole line that you broke. like i said, ive got the set, pm me if you want them.

 

The rubber hose you spliced them back together with will swell up and leak withing a month.

In the archeives of the second generation forum, there is a thread on how to replace those lines and at a cost much cheaper than stock/Mazdatrix.

^ +1. I used this method and it works great for under $30. This method also uses teflon line instead of the factory nylon(I think). Ive had mine on for about a year and theyre as plyable as ever.
